Bio: Anita Rani is one of the most diverse broadcasters on the BBC: from presenting the Asian Network's breakfast show to covering the Royal Wedding, the Yorkshire presenter is currently making her way round the UK for BBC Countryfile.
She admits she's not one for spray tans and sequins, but we think she'll be more than ready to buy into Strictly's glamour once the glitterball starts spinning.
Oh, and having already name-dropped Beyonce as her dancing inspiration, she's clearly aiming to go all out.
There's definitely a secret dancer in there somewhere, as this clip form Capital FM's 2003 Party in the Park proves. And yes, that is fellow BBC presenter Liz Bonnin.
